Utsov And Philanthropy Trying to make a difference

 
Utsov & Philanthropy

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

Mother Teresa

No celebration is complete without sharing the happiness with others, especially the less privileged. Utsov truly believes in “We Rise by Lifting Others”. Hence, we started our philanthropic journey through several charitable organizations by donating part of our collections from Durga Puja Event. Your generous contributions and well wishes help us to stay in this journey. Let’s walk together to make a better future for others.

Some of Utsov Philanthropy achievements so far. You made it possible.

We are very proud to announce that Utsov for last 12 years has been able to support many organizations in USA ,India and elsewhere. Our support includes education and residential support for less privileged and tribal people, work readiness, medical, social and educational services, COVID-19 and other disaster relief efforts. Utsov is working with the following organizations in the USA and in India at the grassroots level to provide food, shelter, heath service and other necessities.
